It was caused to appear to the Governor in Council that cattle disease prevailed in this Colony, danger of such disease being introduced; that there was immediate need for bye-laws respecting the matter therein mentioned.
Subsection 2, 10, 5, 76 of Section 2 are now from corresponding enactments of Imperial Act.
Section 3 is new and is taken from such enactments.
Sections 4, 5, 7, 8 are also new.
Sections 11 and 10 of Ordinances 9 of 1858 respecting the prohibition of other markets, and the underletting of shops in Markets, have been, by Sections 9 and 10 of this Ordinance, extended to Slaughter Houses.
"Part III. Markets" is a consolidation of the Markets Ordinance 1858 and Ordinance 5 of 1867.
New rules have been introduced for the letting of market buildings; the present system of letting for life and payment of a premium has been discarded. All buildings are to be let without fine or premium and from month to month or for a term of years. Section 19 allows the business of a lessee to be carried on in his absence, whereas Section 11 of the Market Ordinance 1858 prohibited the absence of any lessee for more than six months.
Sections 6, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30 have not been re-enacted in this Ordinance; the provisions of some of them are contained in the regulations to the Ordinance, whilst others have become obsolete or have been deemed unnecessary; others are provided for in the new Public Health Ordinance.
